Actually, Takuan, that's a great idea. But more specifically, what I would love is this: An account on my own system with two passwords, one that's real and one that brings up a fake, "safe" system when entered. (Think of last week's "Lost" where Ben's daughter enters a passcode that appears to work perfectly but actually triggers an alert.)

That way the TSA/Customs snoops would see a harmless laptop, and your real, encrypted pornography would stay hidden. Plus, you could have the trigger password activate the system the way Takuan suggested—but without the large print "RECORDING." Why tip the goons off?

"Is there a chance the track will bend?"

"Not on your life, my Hindu friend!"
